THE T TEAM (First XI)
1. Glyn Treagus - Opening batsman and off spinner who joined the club in 1994 whilst on Hampshire's books. A fine puller and cutter of the ball, he was regularly the club's leading runscorer, scoring more than 4,000 runs with a top score of 154 against Ventnor in 2004. Moved over to Bashley for a time but returned four years later and scored a further 1,800 runs before dropping down a division with Andover. Very economical bowler with best bowling figures of 5-25 versus OTs in 1998.
2. Paul Taylor - A former Surrey Second XI player, the left handed batsman scored 75 versus Havant shortly after joining the club in May 1985, and later scored 88 against New Milton as Lymo clinched their second Southern League title. Ended the season with 403 runs at 44.78 and a year later amassed 422 runs at 35.17 including 92 against Deanery.
3. Neil Trestrail - Competitive all rounder who grew up in Kenya. Joined Lymo from Horsham in 1985 and was part of the Southern League winning side that year, scoring 226 runs. Has scored well over 5,000 league runs and taken close on 200 wickets including 7-35 versus Petersfield in 1986 and 7-43 against Hungerford in 1994. Top score of 104 versus Gosport in 1987. Captained the First XI and was at the helm when the club won the SEC Cup at the Ageas Bowl in 2001. Has played in around 200 MCC matches and toured overseas with them many times. Now opens the batting for Hampshire Over 60s and is currently Lymington's club president and a life member.
4. Chris Thomason - Prominent top order batsman and seamer who joined from Old Tauntonians in 1992 and regularly scored well over 300 runs. Took 32 wickets in 1995 including 6-36 against Bournemouth. Moved on to BAT in 1997.
5. Peter Tapper - 'Taps' arrived at the Sports Ground in 1982 and helped the club win the Southern League twice in his first three full seasons, averaging 55.7 in 1983. Broke a host of records (and windows) with his powerful hitting. Top score of 143, he scored centuries at every level for the club and once managed to smash seven sixes in one eight ball over. Useful seamer-turned-slow-bowler who once took 5-0 in a friendly against BATS. Huge pair of hands, took some blinding catches at slip and gulley. Fulfilled most off-the-field-roles at some point and was awarded life-membership of the club in 2007.
6. Mark Thorn - Reliable and steady batsman who initially opened for the First XI in 1991, recording a top score of 49 against United Services, before becoming a key member of the successful Second XI side that climbed up through the divisions in the following seasons. Top score of 104 not out in a low scoring encounter with Burridge in 1993. Later played for BAT and then Fair Oak.
7. Chris Tollerfield - Prolific runscorer who has scored well over 5,000 runs, mainly for the Fourth XI, since joining the club in 2012. Amassed more than a thousand runs in the 2018 season alone, and has notched up two double hundreds and 11 centuries. Top score of 232 not out against Hordle in 2018. Not the worst bowler in the world either, but invariably too knackered to bowl.
8. Richard Truscott - All rounder who started his long association with Lymington CC in the late 1970s. Classical English batsman and useful seam bowler. Took 6-41 versus Old Tauntonians in 1979 and 5-16 against New Milton a year later. 1983 was a very busy year - he was club chairman, Second XI captain and player of year, and even found time to make one appearance for the Southern League winning First XI that same season. For a while held the record for the best bowling figures in the Echo Trophy following his 6-8 versus New Milton in 1982.
9. Martin Thursfield - Former Hampshire seamer who played for just one season in 1998. Often too good for many Southern League batsmen to get a touch, his final haul of wickets was arguably rather less than he deserved. Best bowling figures of 4-30 against Burridge and a top score of 37 versus Andover.
10. Tony Thorp (w/k) - One of Lymington's longest serving players having started with the colts in the late 1970s. Excellent wicketkeeper and entertaining tail-end batsman who has a century to his name (versus Minstead) and a Southern League half century (versus Calmore). Successful colts coach, but perhaps his best claim to fame would be captaining the Second XI to three consecutive ties (versus Winchester, Penton and Sparsholt) at the end of the 1998 season, such an unusual feat that it earned a mention in the following year's Widesn.
11. Alex Treagus - Slow-medium bowler who joined the club in 2003 and has since played predominantly for the Thirds and less regularly for the Second XI. Best figures for the Seconds of 3-37 against Purbrook in 2009 and for the Third XI 6-33 in his first season, and 4-6 against Whiteparish in 2016. Steadfast tailender with a highest score of 27 for the Second XI against Midhurst in 2012 and 38 for the Thirds in 2010.

Summary: Tremendous top five but may be lacking a couple of top class seamers and a second spinner to support Thursfield and Treagus (Glyn).
